“Badhra” is the title of an animation that evokes a seed turning on itself for a cycle of seven minutes that recalls a very slow dance with a natural rhythm. The roots escape from rather thin white seed that moves towards the exterior while even thinner green roots move in the opposite direction, toward the seed’s center, which is represented by a kind of dark green void. Together, they evoke a wide-open iris or the rotation of an unknown planet. They testify to the artist’s interest in circular form and the growth of natural elements, these symbols of the creative principle and personal development.
